This Redoubt is auxilliarv to tho fort, and conttnaada tho little bayou which cones up to within half a tuile of fls walls. It Is a very strong place and would bo much inure reliable in oa.se of an nt-saull hy land than either Barrancas or Mcßae. It 1* not completed, nor has there been any work done on it for throe years. The main body of the fort is square, atid running around upon tho outer side of a deep ditch is u counterscarp, in which aro splendid naohonus gallories, with casemates for hewitr.crs to enfi lade the ditch. A great ileal of money has been thrown away upon this line but usales* piece of masonry. It ia now .* in tiding in the midst of a large field of broom-bush, and a short distance away, and would be taken for a brickOtilit. it will boa ruin iu a very tew years, a.> surely as such expensive follows hav o been the ruin of the government of tho I'uited States. Situated upon an eminence a short distance from the beach, one mile from the Barrancas, is tho light-house, probably the bait ouo on the Southern coast. It is usplendid pioee ofmccha tiisiii, audits light ran be te*n lot* miles upon the (iulf. lu shapu it is u round tower, built ot brick, no hundred and sixty led high, aui was finished two yeart? ago. The light, which is reached by a spirnl stall case bat iug one hundred and cighty-one steps, i.saFrcsnal ligltt, but is more generally known us the Rush-light. It is a light of the first order, and has four concentric wicks. The optical part of this uppmatus is composed of glass lenses or entadioptrio panels. These pieces aro assembled or uuited together by weans of metallic frames, havittgn cu.d-iron column for support. Tho interior diameter of this apparatus is— say six (Vet. and in the centre of it arc the lump -. Each lens light I illumina ted by a mechanical lump, placed iu the com mon focus which is furnished with multiple wick? Hydraulic and pneumatic lamp* arc sometimes used lu tho place of thc.-se. Iu thD lamp there are live principals—the oil cistern or rc or voir, weights and gcuring or machinery, pumps, burner and chimey with P* reflector and damp er. The cistern contains the oil, live and a half giii* of which is allowed man hour. Motion is given it by a weight which slips over a pulley like the weight <<f a clock, and ‘.urns the lamp once in five minuter, giving two Hathcs or very bright, light* in a minute. Tbo dioptric aud oataaioptn.; panels of the light* nro solidly fi wtl in their frame with screw? aud hoiir, and eaunot be displaced or put out of adjustment except by extraordinary accident.-. It ia rather, as a whole, a very bountiful piece of Htechani?m, and well repay? ono for a visit. Tho view frotu thetower is magnificent, giving a bird’* eye-view of tho harbor and the surrounding country for mites. — The time spent in cxnmihing thi* fine work is by all o<M? the most pleasant I have passed inco I have been here. Thi* ouecolumn, erected for a peaceful purpose, has pleased me inure than all fortresses over wh’ o rampart? arc ranged the symbol* of war. I am writing this while waiting fur tattoo aud roll-call. It comes at nine ami afterward* the men go to their leni*. orrit around the camp-fire and sing songs or toll talcs “f home. Reveille comes at six in the morning, and an hour later breakfast.

The mails to Pensacola and Warrington have now entirely stopped, nndeverything that come? to us i* brought by private hand. A package of papers from Montgomery has just been recei ved at the Colonel's quarter, but It contained nothing beyond that city. Occasionally wc get the Time* but very rarely, and it i? a matter of ’ much regret to u* who are anxious to hear from j home. Yesterday i received tut invitation f rum Lieut. Berryman, of tbo Wyandotte, t-> visit Fort I’iekem bis ship was run over for tbu purpose of landing us at the wharf. Just outside tho gates sro were met by Lt. hlemmer, who refused used uh admittance, saying that ho bad just re ceived dispatches Irotu his government, uml was at tho moment of our arrival engaged in discus sing them with tho bearer, Lt. Putnam, Ilia I order* were peremptory, and although a source I of regret, he was obliged to refuse us admittance, j While near the fort 1 managed to make a tolcr* j aide sketch and get some idea of its strength and facilities for defence. Properly manned, 1 am of opinion that a fofco of five tbciioand men i would not tuffice to take it, unless, indeed,it I could be done by surprise. The bastions of I wbioh I spoke in n f >ru cr letter, are very lurgo, I and strong, aud {eoutain flanking howitzers to i bear upon every angle of the Fort, to cross Arc I by the gate, and to cnflbtdo the ditch. The ! casemate guns arc of heavy c alibre, and can be i used very effectually upon the land siJe- Tho | ditch one hundred liset wide nnd fa So protoc ’ ted by counterscarp guns,that a single discharge jof eaiii*tiT would sweep it thoroughly. The ■ weakert point appears to be that fronting the I mouth of tho harbor, nearly facing Mcßae. As 1 1 have previously said the garrison is stcul!, but i reioforements may have been thrown iuerelhia under cover of night. The commander of Fort i Pickon*, Lieut. Adam J. Blewmer, i* a Pcnnsyl j vuniau by birth, and graduated at West Point in tho year 18 JO. li its first commission in the ! Army was a* Brov. Lieut, in the first Regiment us Artillery. Ho is still on the sunny side of H>, and is a fine looiriug gentleman. During the i years lssf>—*66, ho was ntt assistant Professor I of Mathematics at the Military Academy of West point, and ait 1 urn utforinod by a young uian j who wan under htru, was respected by the cadet*. I As nn officer bo stands high, and is notodin the j service for punctilious attention to every duty, | and tho faithful execution of tbo order* of bis i (Jovermucht. Although ho stand* at present | in a peaition hostile to us ho has many qualities i a* a gentleman and an officer that wo cannot but * admire in an enemy. Os Mr*. Slornmer, who is now being futt'd in Washington an a heroine, l ! ran say nothing from person il knowledge, hut j X am informed that the charge of detaining her j baggage, made against fbo Alabama, troops was ! entirely untrue, and the smart raying* which has gained her some trifling notoriety, wera hated i upon falsehood. Had the same charges been I made by a tnu instead of a lady, I should have I t poYen of them in ra*bcr terms, j At twelve to-day our camp was thrown into a j Htato of excitement by tho un noun cement that I the Brooklyn was in sight. I Irurriod aft to the signalbouae,and with tho glass could see bor hull down a long distance beyond Santa Ilosa. As soon as Bhe was signalled from the Navy Yard, tho Wyandotte, with Oapt. Barron aboard xfomiwd out of the harbor with tho orders sent from Washington. Tho tenor of thoso orders have already been published, and are that no vo*fid of war is to unter the harbor or attempt to reinforce the fort.* Tho Wyandotte met her just outside of the bur, since which lime she has been laying off and on,it ever gottiug out of sight. About throe (n the evening the Macedonian waa sigtinl’ed, and still later the Sabine canto in view. The Wyundotte is inside ttuder a Hug of truce. Tho BrooUlyu is commanded by Cnpt. AYm. S. Walker, of New Hampshire, who is now nearly sixty years of age. lu the Japan expo dilion he c nmiuiuied tho Saratoga, and served also iu pho Mi xican war. lie is very strict iu discharge <>f duty, uncompromising, uud is rep resented u* the best disciplinarian in tho service. There is a large force on board the Macedonian ami tho Brooklyn the latter has two companies of Artillery, which was sent out to reinforce Pieku>. 11 the intelligence given us bo true, none of tho Hull Squadron will be in sight to morrow morning, but from their movements du ring the day, and constant signaling from one to th other, we are suspicious that it is tho inten tion to land men upon the Island 10-uight, and place them inside before morning.

The tiring of cannon at tbo duwn of day,yea torday announced the arrival of the troop* from Barbour Bounty, Alabama, who have enlisted for the period of oneyuar in the service of the ( ‘onfedoratu Htntos of America. It was u beau tiful sight, that ofoighty auoh men, as compos ed Capt. Alphous Baker’s company. There wa* I’ugh, tho gifted, tho uloquent member of the old Congre** from tho 2d District and Cochran, one of tho first tnen in tho South, boaring a mus ket in tho ranks ami full of fire and seal of a he roic devotion to their country. They were wel comed by tho Columbus Guard* and Company •’D” under command of Gen’l. Scmmos, who es corted them to Cooks Hotel to breakfast. The Pofote Guards, Capt. George Dawson, ar rived in the Girard train of oars. Roth compa nio* do credit to tho State nnd have enlisted for tho period <f one year. They left this tnorniug for Montgomery with orders to proceed directly f-i Pensacola. Major William 11. Chambers. Pay-Master-General of Alabama, was in com pany with (he troops, hi* patriotic soul heating in unison with any impulse of love for his own country.

Eds. Com Miirs Times; Throughout the night of tho 6th an attack wa.- anxiously ox pooled by tho troop*, wbo were in high spirits uml ready for the fight to begin. Tbo expectation of bi-iug soon recalled made every man desirous of a chance to show bis Lruvery uml willingness to meet tho enemy, and consequently, all took their posts with ulucrily. About sunset the pilot, who brjught the Brook* lyn into tho tdliug loported that Cupt Walker was very indignant at his orders not to land ihe Artillerymen who were on his ship, us his .8 ores were nearly out, and uul sufficient lo last tu auolhur port, unless tho men aro put upon riiort allowance, audit was supposed that a por tion would consequently bo landed nutwitbstuu ding anossurauco to tho contrary. Tho Brook Jvn and Macedonian both came to anchor just beyond Santa Rosa’s island, some three mile* from Fort Pickens and about the same distance from tho Navy Yard. At l*ekons, we could sec* increased activity in labor, three extra senti nels wore placed upon tho ramparts al dark, and two squads of men supposed to be Picket Guards were marched out of tho fort. Upou our side, nil the preparations for battle were made bofore night, and every man was ready upon there port ol tho signal gun to take tho place previ misly assigned biiu. A few men from the Me tropolitan Guard und Tutkt-geo Light lufuutry were ordered to take two of tbo heavy gun* from McKee uud mount them upon the sund battery. They worked faithfully and bofore morning had two ten inch Cwluuibiud* upon a flat, but owing to tho strength of the tide, which rushed strong ly seaward, thuy were unable to got it towards the luml. During the night wo could hoar their call ul'ovo the roar of the surf, and see their torches flash nut here aud thero through tho dark. The signal for tho other companies to rush to arms was to be two guns fired iu quick succession from Bnrancas. About ff o’clock at uigbt Capt. Andrews of the Blues, took u small yacht, and with a few men ran out in tho harbor to watch tho move ment of tho ships, aud to see if any ulteiupt to land troops was made. They were scarcely half a mile from shore when a rocket was shot up from one ot the men of-war and in a few minutes tho Wyandotte came creeping stealthily upon them. Tlio boat wus instantly turned about for the land uud overy light on board extinguished. Looming up through tho distance, like a huge leviathan, the war steamer passed and repassod them so ncur that the command ou board could Do distinctly heard, und the halloo to the mau at the wheel. Tbo sua was calm and tbo boat? ran noiselessly over tho water, only known to each other when the vast hull of tho steamer towered above tho smaller yacht, or when a chance light wa - dUplayad by tlio latter. The soundings, as announced by tbo mau at tbo bow, the dull plash of tho fulling lead, and tho rouring of tho wave - us they broke upon the shore, were the only sounds that disturbed the death like tillnc-.-s of tho night. Tho intention of aj,t. Andrews was to draw tbo steamer upou the bur, or t- get hor aground by displaying a decoy light here and tborr; but tho pilot on hoard was too conversant with the harbor to be ouuglit. Meanwhile every one in tbo fort listen cried in'ently to bear the signal to man the guns, uml sat by tho camp fire fighting imaginary battles, and picturing heroes in tho gloaming ■•oil!*. Morning, came, however, toawako them a: (in to deed loss life, und lo dispel the bright v isiuns of glory, which had burst upon their youthful iiiinds during the hours of night. About tbreo o’clock in the morning a sow rockets wero sent up from the Brooklyn which were answered by the Macedonian; tho Wyan • lotto ran outside, and everything was quiet.- At day break not a sail was iu sight nor any sign of the moii-of-war, for they hud taken advautago of the tide and run out to sea. Throughout tho < tli, nothing occurred to disturb the quiet of tho camp, and tho “boys” wero uguin placed in the saiul battery to finish the work, and to mount tho guns. The labor of transporting thoso heavy guns was very great, especially as sow of the soldiers were ever uciustouied to manual labor. Col. Forney was in charge of the work, aud staid by tho men all night and throughout the daj . T'o give u butter idea of the size of these guns 1 will give the dimension* ami weight, and then by comparison, some kind of u guess may be given * to their appearance. A C'olumbind, about which so much has been written of lute, is of much larger calibre than the ordinary gun, und can bo used for either shot or shell. It is generally mounted ou üburbottecar risge, which will give a lire from a depression of oU u to an tilcvulioD 89°, and a horizontal lire of .".60'. They are a chambered gun, like the sea con?) Howitzer,but lam informed that those now mado lire without chamber, as they aro supposed to weaken the gun, although a greater force oan be obtained. Tho teu-inch ColuuiLiad weighs i ~100 lbs., and is 126 inches in length. The nuturul angle of this piece isl°23’. Tho guns throw a heavy ball, and aro well adapted lor ri c'lehet lire, tho destruction of field works, break ing down palisades or revetment', and tiring building*. The Used cannon, which has spiral grooves cut into tho surfaeoofils bore, Is now very mu oh used, and properly, undoubtedly, for the rotary motion given to the ball, increases the rang* by causing it to move through the air with the least possible resistance. Next to the rifled cannon, these Ooiumbinds are the most effective gun in the American service. As I have previ ously said, two of these am to be mouuted upon tho now sand iiuttery, und when in position will bear upon the weakest part of Fort Pickens.
